In Case You Were Wondering

This is what will be in my pack tomorrow during a Fat Bike Ride at Buffalo Creek..That is all.

Can you give us a brief run down on the clothing you had on, please? I got couple hours in yesterday in the snow and am still having issues with condensation and freezing. It was a great ride though, fresh tracks through the beaver brook watershed.

Yea man, Sunday was chilly. I believe the humidity was high adding to the chilliness.

Head to toe...this is what I usually wear when its below 15 degrees...I had to wear it Sunday and my GPS was reading between 25-32 degrees

clothing optional

That's pretty close to what I usually wear also, but have been experimenting with putting a windproof layer on after a thin base T and heavier weight long sleeve, then I put on an outer insulating layer (usually fleece). It's sort of the same theory as the vapor barrier socks - to keep the moisture from over wicking/wetting through all layers. Sunday it was snowing pretty hard so I added another 'waterproof' layer over the top of that and while I was warm the whole time, I did get freezing condensation inside the windbreaker. Its all part of the fun, at least for me. It may bore others.

So lets talk about beer then. The Breck brewery Chocolate Stout is okay, perhaps that Lugene would be better. The coffee stout in a can - now that is a good breakfast drink.

sheesh Scar, just because I make fun of your pink coat too many times and you don't have to go and buy a brown polartec coat.

I think the final straw was when me and Dano where FIFO'ing one morning and he was leading. He topped out on a climb and there was a couple up there that he started chatting to as he was waiting for me to catch up (cause I am old, just ask GIANTkiiler). The male asked Dan if him and his "lady" got out in the mornings much.
